Unfortunately...when we talk about offshore drilling

We're only thinking about easing automobile traffic. We're not thinking about the "traffic" passing by in the Santa Barbara Channel. Dolphins. Sharks. Fish. Lobsters. Crabs. Sea Lions. And, the most amazing of them all.....the whales!

Oil drilling and spills not only destroy the local economy and the various neighborhoods in town....they also harm our beloved neighbors in the sea.

Sorry to get a little "preachy"....but this is a hot button issue and not many consider the wider effects of our inability to conserve more, use less and go for "quick fixes" to our problems.
